Springer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment,2510-13073-319-72952-7 Preface/ Foreword (professional public transport analyst -- Introduction -- What is Data Science? -- Introduction to Python programming -- Database Design -- Data Munging -- Spatial Data -- Bayesian Interference -- Discriminative Classification -- Spatial Analysis -- Data Visualisation -- Database Scaling -- Professional Issues -- Appendix -- Index.This book offers a unique introduction to the application of data science for transport professionals and students of transport studies. Based on a course taught by the Leeds Institute for Transport Studies, the world’s leading center for training transport professionals, it represents the first textbook in this new area. As transportation planning has become increasingly data-driven, all graduate students and transport professionals urgently need to update their skills to include databases, machine learning, Bayesian statistics, geographic information system (GIS), and big data tools. Similarly, transport professionals including national and local government planners, transport consultants, and car company engineers are called upon to integrate these disparate areas with a specific focus on transportation issues, such as maps. The textbook also features a downloadable software package with all of the open source tools and libraries used in code examples throughout the book, including Python, Spyder, PostGIS, PyMC and GPy installations. As such, it offers a unique resource for graduate/advanced undergraduate students and instructors in transportation studies, urban and regional planning, engineering and geography, as well as transportation professionals.Springer Textbooks in Earth Sciences, Geography and Environment,2510-1307Regional planningCity planningTransportation engineeringTraffic engineeringStatisticsComputersRegional economicsSpace in economicsLandscape/Regional and Urban Planninghttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/J15000Transportation Technology and Traffic Engineeringhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T23120Statistics and Computing/Statistics Programshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/S12008Information Systems and Communication Servicehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I18008Regional/Spatial Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W49000Regional planning.City planning.Transportation engineering.Traffic engineering.Statistics.Computers.Regional economics.Space in economics.Landscape/Regional and Urban Planning.Transportation Technology and Traffic Engineering.Statistics and Computing/Statistics Programs.Information Systems and Communication Service.Regional/Spatial Science.307.12Fox Charlesauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut104501MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910299390903321Data Science for Transport2546097UNINA
